RT-AC86U Cannot Access GUI

[lynxy]

Hi, usually after large uploads/downloads I have no access to GUI of my RT-AC86U. I tried to get with different browsers and computers 192.168.1.1 or https://router.asus.com. I also tried a remote access with no success. I use Merlin's firmware 384.6.

Is it firmware or hardware? The router is still in the return window.

Thanks

It's a known issue, firmware related. If you have access through SSH, open a terminal and execute

service restart_httpd

Thanks for your answer. I'm not this tech. advanced person. I tried the whole day today to establish SSH tunnel with the router with no success. Tried to find any step-by-step manual and found nothing. I was able to copy the key to the router, but I couldn't connect in Terminal app.

If you are currently unable to access the router's UI, the only option you have now is to reboot it now by toggling the power button.

As for SSH, if it s all new to you, I suggest you start by enabling SSH (LAN only), allow password and then simply connect by executing

ssh <user>@<router_ip>

from within a terminal.

<user> is the same username you use to access the UI, router_IP = 192.168.1.1. You'll be prompted to enter your password, which is the same password used to access the router's UI. Once you're comfortable with that, you can start creating and adding a key for access. If that works, you can disallow password access.

It works!!!
I entered for Mac Terminal:
1. ssh admin@192.168.1.1
2. service restart_httpd

It didn't ask for password for some reason, but it worked!!!! )))

The only thing it doesn't ask for password?

P.S. I erased the public key and it started to ask for the pass. You are magician , I tried all of this the whole day and it didn't work. Thanks a lot for your help!

The default IP for this router should be 192.168.50.1 unless you changed it later to 192.168.1.1
